Everyone (old and new players) will start at the character customization screen.
Here you can set up your avatar name and looks before spawning in the beginner city.
You will receive a starter pack with a handgun, rifle, healthkit and 1k of supplies for each.

This update will pave the way for more items, trading, crafting and more...

Our regular visitors already noticed some of the minor updates applied since the upgrade to unity 3.5.
Besides the usual tweaks (and some fixes) the performance has drastically improved with the engine upgrade.

- The GUI windows for Options, Settings and Inventory were given a cleaner look, saving some draw calls
- Tweaks: less smoothing, improved position and aim accuracy which is mostly noticed in PVP
- Full Screen is fixed and can be activated from the settings window (shortcut: V)

Since we hooked up the database, we have been mostly working on bringing persistence into the game.
Most of this is "under the hood" so we're proud to present the first snapshot of character customization:

After registering a new account check your email (including spambox) for the activation link.
Use this one-time activation link to login and set a decent password to protect your account.
As soon as this information is saved you will be able to log into the game with your username
and password.

The next step towards full persistence has just passed internal testing and should be expected later today.

Besides the usual tweaks and fixes these are the most important features of the next release:

- Player locations are now safely stored and retrieved from the database.
- Extra communication features possible by using chat commands.
- Extra options for volume adjustment added to settings window.
- Added alarm sound to the PvP trigger and tweaked other sounds.
- More logging for us to keep track of the systems internals.
